Happy Sunday everyone !!!

It’s fascinating to see how the styles of scrapping in Singapore have evolved. Perhaps being Asian and with our penchant for details, embellished layouts using flowers, accents, pearls and diamond flourishes are very popular. This week, we feature two layouts that typify the Singapore style of scrapping and we hope you will be able to add their ideas to your own work !

Ileesum created a page with a unique oriental flavour :

 YukiStacy has a very interesting layout with lots of flowers and a double tagged journal.

Lovely work ladies, please keep posting and sharing your ideas in the Gallery.

I will be back soon with the Design Team’s projects, see you then ! *Aida*

Hi there scrappers !!!

First off - check out the ‘Lift me !! Challenge #1 at the Forum ! January’s Sketch challenges proved to be popular and with some of you asking for more regular challenges, starting this March we bring you TWO challenges to satisfy those scrap-challenge cravings. The challenge can be interpreted almost any way you like, with an easy set of instructions from the challenge host.We hope to see as many of you in the challenge run, so come play along for the fun. The winner gets a RAK of new CHA products.

Our Gallery is popping again this week and this time we take a look at Multiple photos in a layout.

Salme is a prolific scrapper and she shared this wonderfully eye-catching layout  with us. Love the great photos and the details below them.

Annissa always insists she is a simple scrapper, and in her case simple also means beautiful, using lovely photos of her daughter at ballet.

Marix is a regular contributor though work sometimes does keep her away from scrapping for too long ! I like the way she stepped the two photos and stamped then coloured her own butterfly accents.

I hope you enjoyed our Guest layouts as much as I did ! Thank you ladies for posting in the Gallery, your pages will be another scrapper’s source of ideas and inspiration.

This is all from me tonight, I’ll be back soon, see you !

For February, the Design Team will be working on a range of mediums and to kick off, today we feature layouts in the Gallery using them. Glimmer Misting is a popular technique and we have seen scrappers loving the spontaneous dimension and surprising mixes of colour it gives their layouts.

 Hilda has used both paints and glimmer mist to create a background for her layout.

 Tinkerbell used a mix of bright coloured mists for this whimsical layout of their visit to Hong Kong Disneyland.

 Wu Ling used a light misting of blue to add a dreamy, soft feel to her nature layout.

Thank you ladies for your contributions to the Gallery  !! Remember, the Gallery is for scrappers of all abilities and styles, we *love*love*love* looking at fresh layouts and projects as they provide ideas and tons of inspiration for scrappers who visit.

I’ll see you soon, have a great week ahead !
